Emergency Meeting After Controversy over NJ Wrestler's Forced Haircut

The Buena Regional school board in South Jersey was meeting at 6 p.m. on Wednesday night following the controversy in its second week following last Friday's match where a high school wrestler was forced to cut his dreadlocks, or forfeit the competition. The wrestler, Andrew Johnson, does not plan to wrestle in his next match, scheduled for Thursday morning.

Andrew Johnson wrestled Saturday for the first time in more than two weeks. The Buena Regional student lost by a 6-2 decision to Clayton/Glassboro wrestler Jaden Hinton in a 120-pound bout that opened a tournament.
